Why choose Toronto Brain Health for independent medical evaluations?

We offer unbiased and comprehensive evaluation of a range of psychological and neurological conditions. We adhere to the latest guidelines and population-based research on use and interpretation of symptom and performance-based validity measures. Medicolegal evaluations are provided by doctoral-level psychologists with certification in medicolegal expertise, CMLE (ON) and/ or in the assessment for Catastrophic Impairment – Mental Behavioural, C-CAT (MB), through the Canadian Society of Medical Evaluators / Canadian Academy of Psychologists in Disability Assessment (CSME-CAPDA). Regardless of the reason for referral, your client will be treated with respect and care.

We are particularly knowledgeable in the following areas:

  • Comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessments. Our doctoral-level psychologists have, at minimum, dual registration in clinical psychology and clinical neuropsychology with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. We evaluate the impact of many contributing factors on a person’s clinical profile and provide well-informed diagnoses, related functional impairments and disability, prognoses, return to work recommendations including accommodations and restrictions, as well as return to work readiness and planning, as needed.
  • We assess and treat adults across the lifespan (18-90+ years) and can determine whether neurodegenerative processes may be a contributing factor to an individual’s clinical profile. It is important to rule out a neurodegenerative process in older adults (e.g., 60+ years) who present with cognitive impairment or late onset / worsening of psychological symptoms.
  • We have extensive experience providing both assessment and treatment services to individuals with single and multiple concussions, complex concussions, moderate to severe traumatic brain injury, acquired brain injury, comorbid psychological and/or neurological conditions and chronic pain. We treat a high volume of individuals who are experiencing concussion with persistent symptoms in our clinical practice. Our clinical experience gives us the added advantage of having in-depth clinical knowledge pertaining to the psychological and psychosocial barriers to recovery, impact of brain-related and non-pathological factors on day-to-day functioning, employment and prognosis. We are therefore able to make well-informed recommendations for needed treatment.
  • We keep up with the latest research and guidelines on concussion management in the scientific literature and we are invited speakers on the topic of concussion and brain injury at conferences, university courses on rehabilitation, and educational presentations to insurers and healthcare professionals.
